Description
Nederlands: In 1615-1617 ontdekten Jacob Le Maire (1585-1616) en Willem Cornelisz. Schouten (ca. 1567-1625) ten zuiden de Straat van Magellanes een nieuwe zeeweg tussen de Atlantische en Grote Oceaan: de Straat Le Maire. Via deze nieuwe zeevaartweg kwam een alternatieve route voor de vaart op Indië beschikbaar, waarbij het monopolie van de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie op het bezeilen van de Straat van Magellanes kon worden omzeild. Ondanks grote tegenwerking van de Compagnie en de Nederlandse overheid, slaagde Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638) er in om deze vondst in 1618 wereldkundig te maken. Toen Blaeu in 1635 deze kaart van het zuidelijkste puntje van Zuid-Amerika publiceerde, was de nieuwigheid van de ontdekking al lang verleden tijd en was de Straat le Maire een druk bevaren route.; Rechtsboven een opdracht van Willem Jansz. Blaeu aan Constantijn Huygens.
English: In 1615-1617 Jacob Le Maire (1585-1616) and Willem Cornelisz Schouten (c. 1567-1625) discovered a new nautical route between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean south of the Strait of Magellanes: the Strait Le Maire. This new nautical route opened an alternative route to the Indies while the Strait of Magellanes which was dominated by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), could be avoided. Though there was much opposition from the Company and the Dutch Government, Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1571-1638) succeeded in publishing this discovery in 1618. When Blaeu published this map of the southern most point of South-America in 1635, the curiosity was already over and the Strait le Maire a busy nautical route.
